From a Press Release

Fans of limited edition offerings should keep an eye out for Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, coming to Wii U on 30th October. From that day, Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water – trial version creeps onto Nintendo eShop, giving players the opportunity to sample action from the game's prologue and first two chapters at no cost before choosing whether to purchase all remaining chapters. At retail, the game will only be released as the Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water – Limited Edition bundle, featuring a copy of the game in its standalone packaging, a double-sided poster, an art book, four Spirit Photographs, and a SteelBook™ cover.

Halloween baby!

Halloween baby!

Physical copy get!

 

[Robin64]

Oh wow, that's a good Halloween thing indeed.

Interesting approach to releasing the game, too.

 

[Benzychenz]

Physical copy is exclusive to the limited edition?

 

[Piccoro]

I'm gonna buy that so quickly!

 

[Jotamide]

Inb4 NA gets nothing because NoA is trash.

Saw the same post in the Xenoblade Chronicles X thread, lol.

guehehehehe

 

[Shiggy]

That's pretty interesting. Project Zero 2 didn't sell well on Wii, so this is a great offer to fans of the series. I'm expecting a 59.99€ price point.

 

[Jucksalbe]

I guess this means the retail release won't have that many copies. Got the game preordered already anyway, though.

 

[Robin64]

Anyone play the Japanese version? Wondering how it is.

 

[Litri]

Duly noted! I'm in.

 

[Ushojax]

That surely confirms it's an eShop only title in America. Even Europe is only getting a limited retail print run.

where did you preorder it?

[Kouriozan]

Oh yeah, totally getting the LE.

 

[Frumix]

Gonna keep watch on the local Nintendo distributor. Take-a my money.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

All I wanna know is does this game have costumes?

If yes will buy.

If no will still probably buy.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

 

[Nightcrown]

You'll see, NOA will release this LE but they will only make 100 and sell it exclusively on the Nintendo World Store......

 

[E_Darkness]

Well, Halloween is sorted.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

So much hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.

 

[Dascu]

Good to have a date. Will get.

 

[Jucksalbe]

where did you preorder it?

Saturn.de, it's been on there for a while now. €49.99.

 

[Shiggy]

Saturn.de, it's been on there for a while now. €49.99.

Seeing as Nintendo's non-limited editions are that price, I assume they are going to adjust that price soon upwards.

 

[ShogunDarius]

this gone up for pre order in the uk anywhere?

 

[KingSnake]

Great idea with the demo, going by Japanese impressions that I read, there were some players pleasantly surprised by the game. Also the Treehouse footage was very nice.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Saturn.de, it's been on there for a while now. €49.99.

ahh ok

this gone up for pre order in the uk anywhere?

don't think so

 

[Bowl0l]

Inb4 NA gets nothing because NoA is trash.

I don't get what NoA is thinking..

 

[also]

IIRC, Japan did not get a demo so it looks like they are putting some effort into the Western release.

 

[AdanVC]

I want to scream to Nintendo of America. Europe getting limited editionss, special bundles, tons of amiibo without exclusive retail bullshit and here we don't even have Yoshi's Wolly World yet.

Keep up the good work Reggie and team.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

I mean, I was going to be there day one anyway if it is priced reasonably, but this suggests it might not be. I'm certainly not buying a download wii u retail title so I guess if I want it, my choices are limited. Grr.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

Hopefully Project Zero 2 Wii Edition comes out on the eShop like Xenoblade Chronicles.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

That surely confirms it's an eShop only title in America. Even Europe is only getting a limited retail print run.

Devil's Third has been confirmed like two weeks ago to be getting a physical release in North America.

You'll see, NOA will release this LE but they will only make 100 and sell it exclusively on the Nintendo World Store......

This is what I'm afraid of.

 

[Amalthea]

Just started to play Project Zero 2 Wii-Edition from my backlog. Man what a good game. Looking forward to the new one.

Juats cause there shelves look better doesnt mean it is better over there for all we no there not selling as much amiibo as we are over here. Having tons of stock is nice but not if it means your product isnt selling well cause you flooded the market.

 

[Rymuth]

I thought it was gonna come with a Camera Obscura.

I can live without this.

 

[The Giant]

Awesome, will be getting this. Sucks that it comes out when I'm on holiday in Africa.

 

[NateDog]

LE looks great, totally buying it.

 

[Aostia]

Day one!

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I thought it was gonna come with a Camera Obscura.

I can live without this.

I would kill for a replica.

 

[zhixson]

I don't get what NoA is thinking..

They are thinking that you'll get digital and like it.

 

[BGBW]

Well since this is the only physical release version I guess I'm getting it even if the LE contents don't really interest me... that is if I decide to get it. Nice to see a generous demo is on offer so I can try this series out before buying.

 

[javac]

I like steelbooks so I'll get this. Reminds me of the The Last Story/Pandora's Tower releases.

 

[bryanee]

A Nintendo special edition...probably exclusive to Game..

It'll most likely also be available on the Nintendo UK Store, if not exclusively there

I'll be honest, I never got Steel Books, especially with 3DS games. My Last Story LE (it happened to cost the same as the SE) still has the steel book in the original box because the plastic case matches the rest of my games.

They are pretty to... store away, never to be seen.

Yeah, Steelbook games have always looked odd next to other games, I can agree with that. I own a few video game steelbooks (Vanquish, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Majora's Mask, The Last Story etc) but they do always look odd, especially the 3DS games. However, I guess its that inherent collectors mentality inside of me that really likes them, plus when they come with nice artwork, they really do look nice and this Limited Edition steelbook in particular looks nice.

I mean, even when it comes to movies, steelbooks have always been a weird one for me. I own a few, but I tend to see a reoccurring pattern with them being bare bone release as the distributors tend to feel that it being a steelbook alone warrants the extra money. I've always preferred normal packaging, I hate digipaks and the likes when it comes to films, but at the same time, I'm a sucker of more exotic designs I guess and weird materials, even if it isn't as practical. It's basically form over function, I like pretty shiny things
